Summary

• "In this important and moving true story of reconciliation after war, beautifully illustrated in watercolor, a Japanese pilot bombs the continental U.S. during WWII--the only enemy ever to do so--and comes back 20 years later to apologize."--Provided by publisher
• The devastating Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, in 1941, drew the United States into World War II. Few know that several months later, Japanese pilot Nobuo Fujita dropped bombs on the mainland, outside a small town in Oregon. But the bombings were only the beginning of Fujjita's story. Twenty years later, he returned to Oregon, this time to apologize. This true tale is a dramatic and moving account of reconciliation after war. -- From dust jacket
